Physical Hard Drive & Media Destruction
Jacksonville IT security managers require vendors with NSA/CSS EPL-listed equipment and NAID AAA certification for physical media destruction. Our shredding renders hard drives, SSDs, tapes, and optical media irretrievable — with detailed certificates of destruction including serial numbers, destruction method, date, and downstream facility documentation.
Hard Drive Shredding
NSA/CSS EPL-listed industrial shredders reduce drives to particle sizes that make data recovery physically impossible — exceeding DoD 5220.22-M standards for Jacksonville government and military clients.
SSD & Flash Media Destruction
Solid state drives require physical destruction — software wiping alone is insufficient. Our shredding process handles SSDs, NVMe drives, USB media, and encrypted flash storage for Jacksonville financial and healthcare clients.
Tape & Legacy Media
LTO tape, DLT cartridges, optical discs, and legacy magnetic media destroyed to NIST standards. Critical for Jacksonville data centers cycling out aging backup infrastructure.
NIST 800-88 Certified Data Wiping
For devices being resold or repurposed, NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 software-based data sanitization provides a cost-effective alternative to physical destruction. STS uses DOD-approved overwrite protocols verified with post-wipe verification passes — ideal for Jacksonville enterprises maximizing asset recovery value while maintaining compliance.
Multi-Pass Overwrite
3-pass minimum overwrite to NIST purge-level standards with post-wipe verification. Every drive receives a documented wipe certificate with hardware serial numbers, wipe date, and method used.
Asset Recovery Value
Wiped devices retain resale value. Jacksonville organizations working with STS on IT asset disposition can offset disposal costs through commodity recovery on sanitized equipment.
Fleet-Scale Wiping
Enterprise batch processing for Jacksonville organizations retiring laptop fleets, workstations, or server arrays. Same-week scheduling with detailed per-device documentation reports.
Chain-of-Custody Documentation
Unbroken chain-of-custody from your facility to final processing is non-negotiable for HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, and FISMA compliance. STS provides documentation at every transfer point — pickup manifest, processing log, destruction certificate, and downstream facility report — satisfying the most rigorous audit standards.
Secure Pickup Manifest
Every device inventoried at pickup — serial number, make, model, and condition documented before it leaves your facility. Manifest signed by client and STS technician.
Serial-Specific Certificates
Every destroyed device receives an individual certificate of destruction with serial number, destruction method, date, technician ID, and facility confirmation — audit-ready documentation for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reviews.
Downstream Tracking
R2v3 certification guarantees downstream tracking to certified smelters. Weight tickets, commodity separation reports, and R2 smelter confirmation satisfy the most demanding downstream accountability standards.
